"Vietnam calls on the concerned parties to exercise restraint, handle conflicts through peaceful measures and create favourable conditions for negotiations as well as international efforts to reach comprehensive, equitable and sustainable solutions, ensuring legitimate interests of the parties, and regional peace and stability,” the spokesperson said.

Earlier, at the open debate of the UN Security Council on April 26, Ambassador Nguyen Phuong Nga, head of Vietnam’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, also expressed Vietnam’s concern about the current Middle East situation and called on the UN Security Council to uphold its important role in encouraging the resumption of peace talks between the parties.
